My biggest Lie- CNF

My Biggest Lie.

Every Parent has their own rules for their kids to obey. Ones that are expected to never be broken, and the one's so serious your life can be terminated if you disobey it.  For my parents there is a list.

My parents always say "Never EVER go swimming or have people over when were gone; don't use the microwave or oven when were not home; don't play with scissors or knives," and the list goes on. I've broken almost every rule there is. The one I got the most in trouble for would have to be when I broke the swimming rule.  I had twelve guys, my nine year old sister, and one friend my age that's a girl all going swimming with no adults home.  That day it was around one hundred and five degrees outside. Your skin would turn red in minutes from the sun's bright glare. My parents went out and wouldn't be home till about four thirty and it was only two thirty. I hear a knock at the door and it appears to be all my friends.

" Hey"

" Carly, can we go swimming please?"

" No one's home and they will be shortly."

"Just for a little bit, they won't even know we were here"

"Fine, fine just real quick but when I say it's time to get it out you have to."

"Alright, thanks so much" walking by giving me hugs right before each of them jump in the pool. Doing  front flips, dives, cannon balls, back flips, and the occasional belly flop.

Now it's time where we are kicking all the boys out, and have forty five minutes left. So when we finally get all the boys left we turn to look at the timer clocking down. "We only have twenty five minutes left now." The girls decide, what the heck lets jump in for five and get out and dry off as fast as possible. Which seems like a good idea, until we didn't hear the timer and all of a sudden we got ten minutes. When my parents finally arrived, we were shaking in our boots, our hair was drenched and wrapped up in towels as if we just got out of shower, and the water dripping of our bodies. We had a slight of relief when they didn't mention  a thing about it. We were sold on the fact we got off until they asked around five times. My dad figuring out what really had happened cause some of the guys had left their wet t shirts and socks in the back also big puddles of water covering the edges surrounding the pool. Around the fifth time he asked we knew we were screwed. I ended up getting grounded for only six months. The reason it was so short cause is I had to have it for school. My parents had lost all trust and  respect for me. This all happened the summer before high school. Till this day my parents still have no trust or respect for me.
